Experimental and numerical simulation dataset of a ferrocement wall subjected to fully-reversed cyclic load test.

ABSTRACT: The need for affordable housing in developing countries requires the development and use of new structural systems that allow easy, fast, and cheap construction while providing a sufficient seismic performance to protect the life and belongings of the population. In this regard, structural wall systems based on ferrocement have proved to be a feasible option to meet these criteria. Ferrocement is a construction system composed of mortar (i.e., cement, sand, and water) and thin and closely spaced steel reinforcement (i.e., small rebars, welded mesh, hexagonal wire mesh, metal fibers, etc.). This dataset corresponds to the hysteretic response of a ferrocement wall subjected to an increasing in-plane fully-reversed cyclic load test, following the loading protocol given by the ASTM Standard E2
